I recently changed my default messaging app to google messages. I want to map the hardware message button to go to the google messages app, but when I use the button mapper app, it just automatically opens the native messaging app. Button Mapper doesn't even recognize it. Is there any way to do this?

    Ppotecha It would be a bit of a confusing button remapping process seen here

    once you do this for the messages key it will allow you to map it with button mapper

      UPTHECREAK I think these 2 issues were also fixed in KEFH;

      Was 5) actually fixed, because I'm debating updating but I actually like being able to change the volume when the phone is closed.

            My personal opinion: (this is a forum after all) volume keys should not work when the phone is closed, unless you unlock them. It can be a key sequence or press and hold but it should not be able to just change itself in your pocket. Not sure why only the durable phones implement this....

                  Ok now I can't use the screen resolution changer app because it requires root permission. I've tried using adb shell pm grant but that doesn't work. I think it says that the app needs to request root. Any advice?

                    sahmed92 Do you have Magisk installed? If so and you're not getting a root grant prompt, go into magisk, then there is a tab in there to re-allow the app as it may have been denied before.

                        beginer I should have been more specific....which alternate default apps do you recommend?

                          Flippy I'd actually like it better if I would be able to control the volume when the phone is closed. If I walk into shul, I don't want to have to flip it open to turn off the ringer. I don't think the concern about accidentally pressing the volume buttons during שמנה עשרה is valid. I keep a ton of stuff in my pocket (mostly phones), and it doesn't happen. (I'm talking from experience of my old phone which had that feature and never went off.) Again, just an opinion.

                              FliphoneBochur Yeah. But I think the TCL Flip 2 is especially sensitive. I don't know though. Either way is fine for me, as long as I don't need to unlock it.

                                  hyperactiv Gotcha, that took care of it, thanks! Under Magisk -> Settings -> Superuser Access I had it set to ADB only, instead of Apps and ADB.

                                    Biden2020prez Indeed it is especially sensitive, at least from my experience. That was my rational for originally considering it an 'issue'.

                                      When I input the code it asks for a password. Does anyone know it?

                                        Does anyone know a good automatic backup app for this phone, that backs up everything to the cloud (SMS, notes, pictures, videos, contacts, etc.)?

                                          This is great to see this model have these options available!
                                          I've managed to get the neutronscott img installed and the mouse installed and working with the star button.
                                          Is there a good way to map voice access to the messages button? I'm not clear on the button remapping thread if that is supposed to make that work?

                                          I'm using the a4flip voice access and it works from the notification menu but I'm not sure how to get it mapped to the messages key.

                                          Would be great to get that working. Edit. I got the button mapper app to work well enough for now with a long press of a button to start the voice access. It is not quite as smooth as it was on the LG Classic Flip. It seems to start but not stop unless it either times out or is stopped from notifications menu.
